Norton Shores man sentenced on Internet sex charge

MUSKEGON -- A 25-year-old Norton Shores man has been sentenced to jail and probation for using the Internet to "accost a child for immoral purposes."

Muskegon County Circuit Judge James M. Graves Jr. last week ordered Jed Adam-J Korstange, 2989 Madison, to jail for 90 days and probation for four years, plus $620 in fines and costs. Korstange pleaded guilty to the charge May 23.

Korstange was arrested based on a complaint from an Internet crime unit in Morris County, N.J., according to Norton Shores police.

Police reported that Korstange allegedly was communicating with underage girls in an Internet chat room. In the case charged from 2007, his exchanges with an 11-year-old New Jersey girl were "sexual in nature," police said.
